The Friends of Doncaster Grand Theatre acquire the Vocal Score for ‘La Poupee’, the very first performance held at the Grand.
 La Poupee vocal score title page The show, a comic opera by Arthur Sturgess and based on an earlier French version by Maurice Ordonneau with music by Edmund Audran, opened on 27th march 1899. The show transferred to Doncaster from the Prince of Wales Theatre, London.
The Vocal Score and associated ephemera was acquired thanks to generous donations made by members of the public and will now become a prize exhibit in our ever-growing archive of materials related to the Grand Theatre. You might also be interested to know that an original playbill for the performance is now housed in the Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery on Chequer Road.
The aim of the Friends of Doncaster grand Theatre is of course not just to preserve the fabric of the building but also to record and preserve the history of Theatre in Doncaster, this new acquisition is therefore of significant importance. |
